Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini felicitated leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who represented India in the T20 World Cup on Thursday.
The Chief Minister thanked Indian spinner for their victory and awarded Chahal a shawl and an idol.
Despite being part of the 15-member squad, Chahal did not feature in any of India’s games during their victorious campaign.
India made a change in their playing XI after convincingly winning the Super 8 match on a difficult New York surface with pacers.
In West Indies, as per Parami News, Kuldeep Yadav was chosen ahead of Chahal because the pitches were dual faced.
After Mohammed Siraj’s exclusion, he emerged as a ‘Chinaman’ bowler whose ten wickets came at an economy rate of 6.95 and his performances won games across five matches.
India beat South Africa in Barbados to win the T20 World Cup without losing a single match, and they thus became the first team ever to achieve this feat.
